The Carleton IT Strategy has been informed by the contributions of over 70 faculty members, students and professional services staff and groups.

The goal of this strategy is to increase alignment and effectiveness of IT services for teaching & learning, research, and professional services by formalizing our federated IT model and fostering a campus-wide perspective of IT.

Entitled Building the Foundation, the Carleton IT Strategy provides a vision structured around three themes:

  • Governance: Enhancing IT governance, to ensure transparent decision-making;
  • Services: Simplifying access to IT services, in our federated IT model with its diversity of IT providers;
  • Financial Management: Understanding our IT spend, to ensure ongoing alignment with university goals.

A core initiative for year one is to create a campus-wide IT service catalogue website. This will simplify access to IT services, irrespective of IT service provider.
